Synthesis of Nickel Nanoparticles/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Composites with Pre-Treated Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as Modifier

Article Preview

Abstract:

A simple synthetic route to create Nickel nanoparticles/MWCNT composites (NiNPs/MWNTs) is reported. The process is concise, no additional surfactant or other reducing gas was employed. TEM, SEM, XRD and EDX were used to examine the morphology of the nickel particles. In this experiment, the hydrothermal method using ethylene glycol as a solvent has been well dispersed, uniform size and smaller particle size of the nickel nanoparticles with average size about 50 nm. By cyclic voltammetry test results show that with good electrical properties, Ni / MCNTs.
